Re: Amending Birth Certificate/Name Change
Correcting a birth certificate and changing the last name are two separate causes of action. An attorney with some expertise can likely save you money and work those into one case. Few attorneys have done the correction, and it involves serving the state with a superior court action. An adult name change is more routine.
